The FreeNote: Thoughts on Working in Student Affairs

The Higher Ed Career Coach Show with Sean Cook returns with a "freenote" (free keynote) for student affairs professionals. Suitable for using in training meetings or team development, if you don't have the time or money to hire Sean or another speaker to kick off your fall training. Look for a video version and downloadable handouts and script soon on HigherEdCareerCoach.Com.

Based on parting thoughts Sean shared with colleagues in Residence Life upon his departure in Fall 2009, the "FreeNote" gives a dozen brief lessons culled from over 15 years working in student affairs.

Professionals (new and not-so-new) will appreciate the perspectives and hopefully the humor herein. If not, they may at least find something worth disagreeing with.

This episode features pre-recorded content. The live show will return later in July or early August.

Notice: This episode is best suited to adult listeners and contains a couple of instances of mildly coarse language. Nothing too crazy, but it's probably best to listen yourself before playing for the whole staff.
